Best practice, using Sophos endpoint protection

FabianMaier

Hello together,

I´m new in using sophos for our network-protection.
I´ve currently viewed the content of our "endpoint protection standard" license.
It seems there are many solutions included. From protecting exchange until linux server?
I´ve also seen you can protect your "clients" using a version which is running on virtualisation
systems(scans the vServers) and a version which can be installed on a windows-"sophos"-administration
server, then roll out from there to the clients....

What´s the best practice? Installation and roll-out from a vMachine, or from a Windows machine?
Which, or is there another method which offers most advantages or the most simplicity
in administration?

Thanks a lot for taking time to send answers/expierences ...

    Hello FabianMaier,

    A: Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?
    C: That depends a good deal on where you want to get to
    A: I don't much care where.
    C: Then it doesn't much matter which way you go.
    A: so long as I get somewhere.
    C: Oh, you're sure to do that, if only you walk long enough.

    it'd be easier to make some suggestions if you could describe your environment a little bit. How many endpoints ("clients"), physical or virtual, running which OS, what type of network, AD perhaps, everything on a local LAN or a significant number of roaming endpoints and so on. And I'm not sure what you mean by version which is running on virtualisation, it'd help if you quote the names (e.g. Antivirus for vShield)

    AFAIK (i.e. according to Sophos licenses/Endpoint protection bundles ...) Endpoint Standard does not include Linux, but the unmanaged version is free. Basically you have the management component (Enterprise Console) which runs on Windows (except for small networks on a server OS) - you'd start with this one - and the endpoint software. For it there's no Best Practice for deployment (roll-out) - if you don't have an AD, a method which is (near) ideal for AD won't work.
